Understanding the Earth System - Sarah E. Cornell
Explaining the what, the how and the why of climate science, this multidisciplinary new book provides a review of research from the last decade, illustrated with cutting-edge data and observations. Emphasis is given to the importance of Earth system feedback mechanisms and the role of the biosphere. A key focus is the development of analysis tools that can be used to demonstrate options for mitigating and adapting to increasing climate risks.
This highly illustrated, data-rich book is written by leading scientists involved in QUEST, a major UK-led research programme. The book explains advances in modelling, process understanding and observations, and the development of consistent and coherent studies of past, present and \'possible\' climates. It forms a concise and up-to-date reference for academic researchers or students in the fields of climatology, Earth system science and ecology, and also a vital resource for professionals and policymakers working on any aspect of global change.
